Chapter 48: The Murderer
He Xiangshan confirmed with her again and again: "Daoist Xuanwei has really arranged it, you don't have to lie to me and let yourself have an accident." ”
He Lingjiang smiled helplessly: "It's about my daughter's life, how can I talk nonsense and put my own safety at risk?" Grandpa rest assured, it has been arranged, and his daughter will definitely be fine. ”
She said so conclusively, He Xiangshan's hanging heart couldn't help but let go.
"In this case, let He Cheng bring someone to accompany you, he will wait for you at the bottom of the mountain, and if there is any movement, he will answer at any time."
He Cheng is a good player, his martial arts are not something that ordinary people can deal with, even the two green bamboo and Qiongzhi beside He Lingjiang were also taught by him.
With him with him, He Xiangshan can also rest assured.
He Lingjiang shook his head, and the question still went around: "Grandpa, there is a shortage of people in the house now, and Uncle Cheng is even more important." If his daughter takes someone away, that person can pounce on him, and the entire He Mansion will be in his pocket. ”
"He tied up the fourth uncle at this time, and asked me to go to ransom people with a silver ticket, that is, even if Grandpa let me go, he would not be at ease and let the master of the house follow. In this way, the guards of the He Mansion were empty, and they fell into his trap. ”
"But you'll have to bring some guards in case you need them."
He Lingjiang's tone was firm, and he said: "On my trip, except for letting Yunfu catch the car, I don't bring people from the house." ”
Qingzhu Qiongzhi heard that the lady didn't even plan to take the two of them with her, so she was immediately anxious.
He Xiangshan also wanted to say more, but was interrupted by He Lingjiang, she pointed in the direction of Yunjuguan, and said, "Grandpa, have you forgotten Xuanwei Dao again?" Before I came to the flower hall, I had asked Aman to deliver a letter to him, and he would answer me. ”
He Xiangshan smiled bitterly in his heart, he hadn't forgotten it, but he just let Ling Jiang go alone like this, how could he really let go of his mind?
Yunfu had already prepared the carriage and waited outside the house.
All the rooms of the He family were gathered in the flower hall at this time, and under the layers of guards, no head of the house spoke, and no one could enter or exit.
At this moment, He Lingjiang went out alone, and only the green bamboo and qiongzhi were left around him, which seemed extremely lonely.
He Lingjiang put the package containing the flying money coupon into the car, turned around and took the curtain fence and big umbrella handed by Qiong Zhi, and lowered his voice to explain a few words, and then lifted the curtain and entered the carriage.
Yunfu gently whipped his whip, and the horse driving "boom" forward, gradually disappearing into the thick night.
At this time, the city gate has been open for half an hour, and I think that at this time, Aman is about to see Xuanwei Dao Chief.
The small carriage passed the city gate, walked along the official road for a while, and then went around the path, staggered from the ordinary road to the mountain, and rushed towards the Cuiwei Peak behind the mountain.
The driver was a good horse, but the carriage arrived at the foot of Cuiwei Peak.
There was still some time before sunrise, but the people on the mountain were afraid that they would not let her leave easily, so He Lingjiang had to carry a fence and a big umbrella with him.
She first carried the package on her back, and then tied the large umbrella and fence behind her back with strips of cloth.
Yun Fu watched her movements and hesitated: "Seventh lady, do you really want to go up alone?" ”
He looked at He Lingjiang's clothes and said, "Otherwise, let me change your clothes and go up on your behalf?" It was not yet dark, and the villain Xu couldn't see his face clearly. ”
He Lingjiang couldn't help but laugh, Yunfu is only twenty-one or twelve years old this year, with a delicate face, a thin body, and he is not tall among his peers, if he dresses up as her, there may be some similarities.
It's just that she must have to go to this Cuiwei Peak in person, otherwise, she wouldn't have objected to He Xiangshan's proposal to let someone pretend to be her and go to redeem people.
"That person is probably from Hefu, you can't fool him."
He Lingjiang tightened the package on his back and said, "You wait here first, if I or the fourth uncle come down, we will answer immediately." ”
With that, she walked up the hill.
Cuiwei Peak has a complex mountain shape, few people usually visit, and naturally there is no repair of the mountain road, only a small road stepped out by the herb pickers who come and go here, and the weeds and rocks are dense in the middle.
He Lingjiang is full of martial arts, and it is not difficult to walk, but there are branches of trees sticking out diagonally from time to time on the path, and she has to slow down so as not to accidentally cut her skin.
It took her about a stick of incense to climb to the top of the mountain.
It was nearly halfway through, standing on the top of the mountain and looking at it, the light veil of the dark night had been removed, and the sky was shallow to reveal a touch of fish belly white.
The mountain breeze blows, and the surrounding grass and trees rattle.
He Lingjiang looked around, but did not see the figure of He Shishi and the kidnappers.
She raised her voice: "The ransom has been brought in full, can you release him now?" ”
The top of the mountain was silent, and only the sound of the wind blowing the grass and trees could be heard.
She raised her voice again and said again.
Still no one answered.
He Lingjiang sighed, and was about to go down the mountain.
"He Qi Niangzi is so impatient?" A person turned out from behind the rocks, the man was upright, and the mountain wind blew his sleeves flying, "At this time, it is not yet halfway through." ”
He Lingjiang turned around and said in a calm tone: "It's the Xuanyang Viewer, the day before yesterday, I didn't expect to see the Viewer again so soon." ”
Xuanyang flicked his sleeves and said: "In ancient times, there was a saying that nectar does not moisten the grass without roots, and the Tao does not cross the person without fate, so it can be seen that I have a relationship with He Qi Niangzi." ”
He Lingjiang smiled lightly and said, "I really have some fate with Daomen. I just don't know if this relationship with the Lord can still start and end well. ”
Xuanyang was leisurely at his feet and asked, "The ointment given to the Seventh Lady before, has the Seventh Lady ever used it?" ”
He Lingjiang shook his head, and there seemed to be regret in his tone: "That ointment is extremely rare, and I am not willing to use it yet." ”
"It's just that the asiatica that impresses me. Jiang didn't know that the Guan Lord was so generous, not only used such precious medicinal materials in the ointment he gave me, but also used this thing in the pills that the Feng family Liulangjun strengthened his body. ”
"If you want to make medicine, you must naturally make it with good medicinal materials."
Xuanyang looked at He Lingjiang: "It seems that even if He Qi Niangzi didn't use that ointment, she was obsessed with that centella asiatica." Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here to talk to the poor road now. ”
He Ling Jiang smiled and said, "If Jiang can't comprehend the painstaking work of the Viewer, wouldn't he have failed the Viewer in vain." ”
He Qi Niangzi's incident in the Yunju Temple was also fatal with a knife in the neck, and the first person to suspect was the people who entered the Yunju Temple that day.
After she returned home, she asked Yunfu to secretly investigate the people in the various mansions who stayed with He Qiniang that day. However, it's just some boudoir ladies.
Yun Fu investigated for many days, but he couldn't find anything wrong with them.
Since He Qi Niangzi's affairs have nothing to do with them, then the one who can kill He Qi Niangzi and take He Qi Niangzi's body down the mountain without knowing it is the person in the cloud residence view.
She was going up the mountain that day to invite Xuanwei, in order to go to the Yunju Temple to find out.
Xuanyang, the master of the view, personally welcomed her in, which was already puzzled to her, and her words were full of concern for her injuries.
When Xuanyang handed over the box of ointment, she looked down and saw his right hand, and she suddenly understood.
That hand, the thumb and index finger have a thin layer of calluses, and the tiger's mouth is slightly turned outward, which is a trace left by a knife for many years.
And the wound on He Qiniang's neck is a knife wound!
